Kriss Farver is a fan who contributed to zines in the 1990s, exclusively in the Beauty and the Beast (TV) fandom.

Farver was mostly an artist but also wrote occasional fiction.

Defender of Tolerance Regarding the Third Season

Farver commented on the character, Diana Bennett, as well as the controversial third season of the show:

My reaction to a comment made in one of the earlier issues: "I can't believe any true fans of the real Beauty and the Beast really liked the third season." I might as well get it out of the way right here — I enjoyed the third season every bit as much as the first two, and I can't tell you how hurt and offended I am by that statement! I don't want to pick on the one person who wrote it, because I'm sure she is not the only one who thinks that way. I have fought as hard as anyone for the survival of B&TB — wrote as many letters as anyone. I have laughed and cried with everyone of its characters, felt so much of what they were feeling. I grieved NO LESS for Catherine than anyone, and because I have dealt with that grief does not make me less of a person, or less of a fan! I am truly sorry so many still struggle so much with it, but to be told I can't be a true fan because I found worth in something another could not, hurts deeply! I don't think less of those who could not accept all that B&TB was — the good, the bad and the changes. This kind of comment doesn't make the wounds in fandom any easier to heal.[1]

Farver had this to say about fandom and what an actor "owes" his or her fans:

The loyalty I feel towards Linda Hamilton has always been there. I just never felt I had to defend her the way I do now. My interpretation of the facts are as follows: As one fan wrote, "She owes us nothing but a good performance every week, and she delivers." If anyone thinks Linda Hamilton owes fandom anything else, then I believe that they might not understand what an actor does. They act. That is all. Anything else — interviews, conventions, etc — are a gift (even if they are paid for them) and should (in my opinion) be looked on as such. She did not/does not owe us any explanation of why she does/doesn't do interviews. [2]
